“As we are following the lives of our 3,000 Golden Retrievers, Whistle can provide our study with essential insights and data we could never have accessed before,” said David Haworth, CEO of Morris Animal Foundation. “The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is the first study of its kind which aims to uncover the root causes of cancer in dogs and advance how we diagnose and treat this pervasive disease. Whistle gives us unprecedented visibility into these dogs’ lives to bolster our research into better protection of dogs against cancer.”
